Doubao 1.5 Vision Pro API Pricing

Doubao 1.5 Vision Pro is the older Doubao multimodal tier kept here for invoice reconciliation and migration planning. Volcano Ark's current pricing table lists Y3.00/M input for standard inference, while the standard output column is marked unsupported for this legacy row. AI//COST stores that as $0.423/M input at Y7.1/USD. Pulled directly from volcengine.com daily.

Estimate · doubao-tokenizer-estimate · ≈3.85 chars/token Auto-counts as you type

This is a chars-per-token approximation, not a real tokenizer. Actual tokens vary by language, code density, and tool-call overhead — counts are typically ±10–20% off for English prose, more for code or non-Latin scripts. For exact billing, use the vendor's official tokenizer.

Frequently asked.

Practical Doubao legacy-vision pricing questions, with the current official row separated from migration assumptions.

Q · 01 What is Doubao 1.5 Vision Pro priced at today? +
Volcano Ark's current pricing page lists Y3.00/M input for the legacy doubao-1.5-vision-pro row. AI//COST converts that to $0.423/M using the project queue rate of Y7.1/USD.
Q · 02 Why is output shown as $0 on this page? +
Because the official standard-inference row does not expose a standard output-token price for this legacy model. The queue and snapshot both record that the vendor marks output billing as unsupported on the normal row, so this page does not invent one.
Q · 03 Is there cache-hit pricing? +
No cache-hit discount is listed for this legacy vision row on the current pricing table. The calculator therefore treats cached input the same as normal input instead of fabricating a discount.
Q · 04 Should new projects still choose this model? +
Usually no. For new work, ByteDance's active vision-capable rows such as Doubao Seed 1.6 Vision or Doubao Seed 2.0 Pro are cleaner targets with clearer output pricing and broader current support.
Q · 05 Does this page include tax or contract discounts? +
No. This page stores the public Volcano Ark list price before tax, enterprise rebates, or negotiated regional terms. The USD amount is just a comparison layer over the official CNY source.
Q · 06 How is the effective figure calculated if output is unsupported? +
The quote board still uses the site's standard blended formula, but with output set to $0 because that is what the official standard row exposes. That yields an effective planning figure of $0.39/M, which is useful for conservative migration budgeting, not a promise of generative-output billing.
